alpine

Sweeter than an apple-patterned jumper on a hot Austin day, the bond between Alpine’s front-women Phoebe and Lou was a direct example of the types of conversations their songs intend. Between fits of laughter, flashing winks, and brow raises, these delightful Aussies were a solid, smirking team with or without words. At the mics their delicate voices transform into an audible bond; a friendship that seamlessly treads intervals, deciphers lyrics, and finds harmony to complement whatever rhythm the day may bring.

This session is the third of four, filmed in partnership with Rdio during SXSW. Visit on.rdio.com/alpine to hear the exclusive session featuring “Lovers 1” and other tracks performed that day.

Loving this new track from Melbourne band ALPINE , “Gasoline” from their upcoming A is for Alpine full length, coming out in the U.S. on May 21 through Votiv. Last year, they burst on to the blogs with “Hands” and “Villages”, played several incredible shows at SXSW and took the crown of “Best Alternative Album” on iTunes in Australia.
